Petroleum Engineering has evolved into one of the well-sought courses in universities these days. It is the field of engineering that deals with the exploration, extraction, and production of oil. It also increasingly deals with the production of natural gas.
To study petroleum engineering, students will benefit from taking high school courses in math, such as algebra, trigonometry, and calculus; and in science, such as biology, chemistry, and physics.
Entry-level petroleum engineering jobs require a bachelor’s degree. Bachelor’s degree programs involve a mix of classes, laboratory work, and field studies in areas such as engineering principles, geology, and thermodynamics.
Most colleges and universities offer cooperative programs in which students gain practical experience while completing their education.
The duration for acquiring a Bachelor’s degree in many universities is 5 years. However, some employers prefer applicants who have earned a graduate degree.
In as much as a graduate degree secures one a higher job position, it also allows an engineer to work as an instructor at some universities or in research and development.
